HOBO® MX2001 Data Logger

Water Level

The HOBO MX2001 is the industry's first water level data logger
designed for convenient wireless setup and download from mobile
devices via Bluetooth Low Energy. The logger dramatically
simplifies and lowers the cost of field data collection by providing
wireless access to high-accuracy water level and temperature
measurements right from a mobile phone, tablet, or Windows
computer, with Onset's free HOBOconnect app. The MX2001 logger
consists of a top-end unit and a water level sensor which are sold
as a set, plus a direct-read cable to connect them. Cables can be
ordered in lengths from 0.2 to 500m for deployment in a wide range
of wells.

The CE Marking identifies this product as complying with all relevant directives in the
European Union (EU).

*Water Level Accuracy: With accurate reference water level measurement, known water density, and a stable temperature
environment. System Water Level Accuracy equals the sum of the Barometric Water Level Accuracy plus the selected
sensor end Water Level Accuracy.

**Raw Pressure Accuracy: Absolute pressure sensor accuracy includes all sensor drift, temperature, and hysteresis-
induced errors.

***Changes in Temperature: Allow 20 minutes in water to achieve full temperature compensation of the pressure sensor.
There can be up to 0.5% of additional error due to rapid temperature changes. Measurement accuracy also depends on
temperature response time.
